A young Nigerian TikTok personality known as Geh Geh has shot into the limelight after a live broadcast on Thursday drew more than 177,000 viewers and reportedly earned him over $30,000 in virtual gifts.

The rising social media sensation, who brands his platform as the “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” has gained attention for his unconventional — and often controversial — takes on money, relationships, and masculinity.

In a celebratory video after the session, Geh Geh exclaimed:

“More than 177,000 people watch my lectures today. Jesus! University of Wisdom and Understanding — the only university where once you graduate, woman go fear to ask you for money.”

Proudly calling himself the “first illiterate to find a university in the history of Nigeria,” he shared that his journey from being an orphan to internet stardom has been fueled by the love and support of Nigerians online.

According to him, the live gifts he received were worth about $30,000 — a life-changing sum.

“See gift I made over… more gift when they give me today is worth about $30,000. I no go take this love for granted, because I no really do anything for am,” he said.

Geh Geh’s rapid rise has been hailed by many as proof of the growing opportunities in Nigeria’s creator economy, showing how social media can empower even those without formal education to build influence, create entertainment, and earn a livelihood.

Although his blunt advice about women and money continues to spark debate, his story is increasingly being embraced as a source of inspiration for underprivileged youth.

Reflecting on his newfound fame, he added:

“If Nigeria be country wey value great people, by now them suppose dey compare people like me with Aristotle, Wole Soyinka, Einstein… but I thank God say people dey see my head and my own difference.”

With his followers now calling themselves “students” of the Geh Geh University, his case underscores how digital platforms are reshaping fame, influence, and success in Nigeria’s cultural landscape.
